Are rainouts credited to the day it’s (originally) scheduled, or the day it’s played on?
This article seems to indicate that it last happened to the Cubs 40 seasons ago.
The Cubs didn’t play any games from October 1 to October 3, 1986, and the last two games were at home while the preceding game was in Philadelphia so it appears they were rained out in two different cities.
The original claim sounds like some journalist repeated AI bullshit.
Not sure how to frame this as a trivia question, this made me laugh:
The last five head coaches of the Edmonton Oilers are listed chronologically below:
- Mike Babcock (Hired June 2026)
- Kris Knoblauch (November 2023 – May 2026)
- Jay Woodcroft (February 2022 – November 2023)
- Dave Tippett (October 2019 – February 2022)
- Ken Hitchcock (November 2018 – April 2019)
Who was the first MLB umpire to wear glasses while officiating a game?
In 1954, American League umpire Frank Umont became the first major league umpire to wear glasses while officiating.
What MLB team had two pitchers who were alumni of the same high school pitch perfect games, and who were they?
I’ll disqualify myself since I had no idea and googled it. I wouldn’t have guessed those two, however.
Here’s what should be an easy one:
Seiya Suzuki hit his 100th career home run in Wednesday’s 23-3 shellacking of San Diego, becoming the 4th Japanese born player to reach that milestone.
Who were the other three?
In order by most career home runs:
Shohei Otani (290)
Hideki Matsui (175)
Ichiro Suzuki (117)
Heh. I only know it because the high school is my alma mater and it was a big deal in the local news when the second one happened.
One that I actually got right!
Suzuki makes damn fine motorcycles and cars, too!
I was about to post a question but I’m glad I checked. I asked it a year ago. I don’t think anyone answered.
Just learned a great one.
Who was the first team ever to defeat the Mexican national team at the Azteca? (hint:it was a friendly)
Care to post it again, maybe with the answer spoilered this time?
I wish everyone would just spoiler their answer. Everyone just promise not to give it away to those who want to guess.
On your honor, now!
Hear, hear!
Spoilers work well in other threads, like Spelling Bee and Connections. They’ll work here as well.
I have no trivia to add, but if there’s a tutorial or some other assistance on how to format spoilers, I’d appreciate it!
I took most of this from a two-year-old post from another poster:
Select the word or words you want to spoil, go to the symbol on the right, (the wheely thing with a plus sign) and scroll down the list two or three steps. Then you have “blur spoiler” which you click, and voilá!
Cool, thanks!
I did it!
I did blur the answer in my previous post. So it’s certainly possible that some knew it and just didn’t reply. In fact now that I look at it you proved you knew the answer without stating it.
The question was, who is the only player that has his preferred kicking foot listed in Baseball Reference?
Answer Paul O’Neill. It comes from a play when he was with the Reds where he bobbled a single and kicked the ball to the cutoff man.
Thanks!
